Sun

With the Solarscope I could still see
active areas 875 and 876). Between them I counted 12
sunspots — that was down on yesterday's observation. Given that it was
later in the afternoon and conditions weren't ideal I suspect that
this might have been as much to do with the view I had as with
anything else.

Using eclipse shades I was able to see the main spot in area 875,
as a small black dot, with the naked eye.
